Adele reveals she’s battling a fungal skin infection caused by ‘sitting in her own sweat’ while performing her Vegas shows in Spanx
Adele has confessed that her Vegas shows gave her an unpleasant fungal skin infection.
The singer, 35, quipped that she had ‘jock itch’ after sweating in her Spanx while performing under the hot lights at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
Known commonly as jock itch, tinea cruris is a fungal skin infection of the groin area, affecting the upper part of the thighs, buttocks and lower parts of the abdomen.
Speaking during her latest residency gig, Adele told the crowds that she was ‘so hot’ and her ‘t***’ were sweating’, adding ‘I need a towel, Jesus!’
She went on to explain that her doctor had informed her she had jock itch, saying: ‘It is a bit crude but I never knew it existed!’

Adele went on: ‘Obviously when I do my shows I wear Spanx and keep it all in and make it all fit me.
‘And I sweat a lot and it doesn’t go anywhere. So basically I just sit in my own sweat. And my doctor gave me Jock Itch.
‘So it looks like I am an athlete basically, so I have to squirt it on myself. I don’t know why the f**k I just told you that!’
‘Talking of body acne I have started weight lifting again like no-one’s business. And I am absolutely loving it.’
Adele – who had a three-month break from her Vegas residency – also spoke of her nerves at returning after finishing the first leg of her run in March.
‘All week I had just been buzzing and right then I was stood right there (behind the curtain) and I s**t myself!’ she confessed.
‘We had a very long break and I am gassed to be back. I was bored out of my brains. Somehow I missed you. It is a lovely change. I genuinely love doing these shows and it is the highlight of my week. I was desperate to get back. It is a whole new meaning.’
Chatting away with the crowds, the singer went on to reveal that she had just come back from a ‘beautiful vacation’ with her girlfriends in Miami, admitting she had attempted to sneak into a gay club on the trip but had been instantly recognised.

Adele – who was sipping honey water throughout the show – also spoke about her wild holiday in the Dominican Republic, revealing that she had a four-hour karaoke session that left her fearing she’d lost her voice.
‘I got a bit frightened,’ she confessed. ‘I was hoarse. I didn’t speak for two days afterwards. ‘Another time I did all nighter, which I am too old to do now.
‘I went to bed at 9am. And I can’t do that anymore. It is fun to go out on a big one. But never again. I like to be in bed by 9PM and not AM.
The Oscar winner, who famously wrote a hit I Drink Wine, went on to reveal that while she enjoyed her wild nights partying her hangovers were so severe that she is off booze.
Adele previously said that her Las Vegas residency had ‘brought me back to life’, admitted that the show had been the highlight of her career.
According to The Sun, she said during her final March show: ‘I feel so safe in here. My life is tiny. I don’t really leave my house and that’s by choice.
‘My life used to be massive when I was younger. But it is like the bigger my career has got, the more scared and anxious I have become.’
‘I hang out with my dogs, my son and my boyfriend, and chat away with my housekeeper. On Friday and Saturdays, I really look forward to coming [to Vegas] and it feels like having a night out and seeing my friends. It’s brought me back to life.’
She added: ‘I usually get butterflies and get nervous and I say a little stage prayer and cross my fingers, but I don’t get anxious with these shows. It has been the best four months of my career. This show has brought me so much joy. I have loved doing it.’
According to reports, Adele was offered more than a million dollars per night to continue performing in Vegas, which is double what she currently earns.
